HomeLight Rolls Out Local Cash-Sale Guides Promoting Fast, As-Is Offers
Advisers urge seller verification, noting many cash bids trade price for speed.
Overview
- Across multiple city pages published Sept. 24–25, HomeLight promotes its Simple Sale service, which claims cash offers within about 24 hours and closings in as few as 10 days with no repairs or showings.
- The localized guides and regional roundups, including Tulsa, Springfield, Southern California and numerous city how-tos, explain that investor buyers commonly purchase homes as-is.
- Coverage underscores that cash offers are typically below market value to account for repairs and resale margins, and some company proposals are framed as take-it-or-leave-it.
- Step-by-step outlines advise researching house-buying companies, undergoing a property assessment, reviewing terms, and closing quickly once an offer is accepted.
- Independent guidance from ActiveRain stresses due diligence such as requesting proof of funds and comparing investor offers with potential proceeds from listing with a top agent.
